    The father of the famous Bronte sisters the Reverend Patrick Bronte was the Parson here from 1815 to 1820.

    The Chapel itself is now in a demolished state within the cemetery grounds but the old Bell Tower top stands within the old chapel itself thanks to the Bell Chapel Volunteers who are trying to tidy the site up.

    A newer church building for the St James parish stands across the road from the original churchyard cemetery on Thornton Road, Thornton, Bradford.
